Badoo Review

Authored by: ionecum (Anonymous User) on Sunday, May 04 2025 @ 11:36 pm

Badoo has lost a lot of quality. Some examples here:
1. You are searching for girls and men show up for no reason.
2. You are using the "people nearby" feature and suddenly, you are redirected, for no reason, to the encounters page.
3. You are searching for people online, and your must mark this again every time you search for people online.
4. You are swiping people and after about each 10 profiles and empty page shows for no reason.
5. You get constantly annoyed by messages like "we have updated your filters". Which is never true and it's just useless.
6. You get inconsistent search results: you are searching for people in the Dominican Republic, and some search results come from Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela or other countries that have nothing to do with the Dominican Republic, just because, there exist two or more cities with the same name across different countries.
7. In the mobile version you can't see who visited you or the list of new members.
8. You are searching for people in your city, you set your filters for this and you get search results from remote provinces.
9. Only 1% of people will read your messages.
10. If you don't have a gps constantly turned on, you get constantly annoyed by requests of permissions. Finally, if you use a Badoo in a laptop without gps, it will not work.

Also, the Badoo way to treat people is highly disrespectful. I will tell you my personal experience. Last time I used it, I wanted to meet a new girl and I started writing to several of them. After a while I got a yellow flag saying I had violated Badoo guidelines and that my account would going to be closed in case of further violations.

So I contacted the Badoo support because I was completely unable to figure out what happened. I had the complete faith that I did absolutely nothing. They sent me a confusing answer, according to which, after several complaints from users and after verifying the situation, the Badoo moderation decided to send me a warning. Without an explanation at all. I wrote them back again, arguing that it is impossible to respect a rule if I do not know the reason for which they had sent me the warning.

As a response, I received a new warning, saying that my account was permanently and irreversibly moderated. Again, without giving an explanation, without any possible reason and closing the thread without giving the possibility to reply back (!!!!!).

After thinking for a while and re-reading the Badoo guidelines very carefully, I realized that the only thing I could have done, was sending the same message to several girls, and the message was

"hi where are you from?"

But sending the same message to several girls is not a reportable thing, unless the same person had several accounts and received from me the same message. Highly improbable. Therefore the Badoo staff lied about the fact that several people reported my profile.

Yes, it's true, I sent the same message to several girls, but this message was still better than the automatic messages Badoo constantly sends you, pretending they come from some real person. It was better to their lies saying, for example, that someone wrote you (automatic messages), or someone wants to chat with you (not true) or someone liked you (almost always false).

How could one respect such a web site? A site that moderates you for no reason whatsoever without giving you any explanation and only because, in good faith, you have asked for an explanation about a violation you honestly ignored? Refusing to say what the violation was is really ridiculous.

Now, dear reader, could you give me only one reason for which I would avoid to send the same message to several people? Just one reason for sending different messages to girls I don't know and acknowledging perfectly well that 90% of these will not even read my message.

And does it make sense to send me a warning, offending me with petulant comments like "we're not 5 years old anymore" and then permanently moderating my account just because I asked for an explanation? How can you follow a rule without even understanding what you have violated? Does it make sense to be censored and moderated just because you honestly did not understand and you have asked for an explanation?

Well, this is what happened. Worse than in the worst of dictatorships. So I don't give a f*** if Badoo banned my profile for reasons only Badoo understands. It seems that Badoo likes a lot to repress people rather than teach them, according to the stupid, arrogant, totalitarian methods they use.

Unfortunately for them and lots of other stupid people, I'm not the kind of person that makes the same mistake twice.

Their CEO is a petulant, arrogant and despicable human being. I have been feeling this from the very beginning, (I was using Badoo since 2007). He probably suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder.

Why has Badoo dropped the Super Powers? Because nobody gave a s**** to them and their stupid and incorrect way to make money.

Does Badoo website really work? Not a chance. I have been using it since 2007 and I never dated a girl that has been worth anything, not a single f***ing time. NEVER!! Still I dated several girls in other places and in real life. Therefore the problem was not me, it was Badoo.

Something is just not working with them, therefore their "honest" way to dating is a pure garbage. Badoo failed. Badoo doesn't want people succeed. They just want money. Money vilely earned.

Badoo makes money by showing you ads and by constantly prevent you to succeed.

I strongly suggest you to use meetero.com instead. This is still a new platform, but it is a complete gamechanger. They care about people success and vanity. Their goal is exactly to make you find what you are looking for. They goal is to make your posts viral, no matter what you are posting and if it is the first time or the 177th time you are posting something. Their business model is made in such a way that you will get what you want (they algorithmically help about it) in a dating context and you will be more popular and viral than in TikTok in a social context. Because Meetero is a hybrid between a social media and a dating site. It is a dating social media with social features like posting stories that every other member of the platform will see. I warmly recommend it, the dating industry needs something totally new definitively, we must leave behind that dinosaurs like Badoo that only want your money in the most vile way. I'm not the only one that say horrors about Badoo. Please see the other reviews, not only here, but in the internet in general. See the average of bad reviews and rating Badoo has everywhere.

So many people simply can't be wrong.
